HOUSING
Personal assessment
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? The apartment provided by the university can be really good... if you are Dutch! But it is also possible to find something on your own.
Personal comments:
The building itself was okay. But some problems appeared soon after the arrival. Firstly the rent suddenly increased a lot, without any warning. Secondly, a worksite (very noisy)started one month after arrival and this only few meters from our building. Thridly, we couldn't negociate an other telecom provider than the one furnished by the University. Fourthly, frustrating feeling (which does not help the relation with the locals) when we realiseed that the Dutch students paid much less for a much better apartment. But the relationship with the international student was great. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
